Just in case you were wondering…we’re all still sick. Or sick again. I don’t know which it is and at this point I’m too mad to nitpick over details.  I’m so tired of runny noses and feeling like shit.  It’s not fun to take care of sick kids. It’s not fun to take care of healthy kids when you are sick yourself. And everyone being sick is an even less desirable scenario.  Just when I started to feel like I was on the mend I am all achy and my neck feels like I tried to swallow a skateboard (it’s sore) and my head feels like it’s stuffed full of kleenex. You would think that would make me more sympathetic to my son who is probably experiencing the same symptoms but I just can’t feel sorry for someone who refuses to sleep.  Especially when that someone is so obviously exhausted.  The nasty cranky child just makes me want to stick my finger in a wall socket!  Today, all before 6:30am he had cried because he was being held, then because he was put down, then because I wouldn’t feed him Halloween candy for breakfast, then because I gave him the same food he eats every single day for breakfast, then because he was undressed, then because he was dressed, then because life is just such a miserable miserable existence, why must we all be forced to live???

I’m hoping for some kind of miraculous turn around because we leave for our trip to Saskatoon on the day after tomorrow and if we are all feeling the way we are today then it’s not going to be a very pleasant trip, if that’s even possible when you’re flying with a one year old!  But I am still very excited about our trip and tomorrow is Halloween and that is fun, too.  So I should just suck it up and stop complaining.  I’m off to buy a big bag of candy. And it all myself.
